Here is what I came up with. Works for me.
First, I created a folder in /private/tmp/ called "ampmac_connector"
I then located and copied the hidden .policy.xml file using Terminal, from the mounted disk image into /private/tmp/ampmac_connector/
cp /Volumes/ampmac_connector/ampmac_connector/.policy.xml /private/tmp/ampmac_connector/policy.xmlNote that in the above, I'm renaming it without the leading period. I'll explain why in a sec.
Also copy the .pkg from that mounted disk image into the same /private/tmp/ampmac_connector/ location. You don't need Terminal for that. Just copy it in the Finder.
Now open Composer, close out of any dialogs asking to create a new package if that comes up.
With the Finder open to /private/tmp/ drag that ampmac_connector folder into Composer's sidebar. This should create a new source. Initially it will take on the name of one of the folder, so rename the source to something else if you like, such as "Cisco AMP" or whatever makes sense for you.
Now, in Composer itself, turn down the folder disclosure triangles so you can drill down into /private/tmp/ampmac_connector/ in it and reveal the files that were copied in. It should look something like this:
Click on that policy.xml files name, and when it highlights for renaming, add the leading period back in the name. It should now look like this:
If needed, you can change the permissions on the files to make sure they are fully readable by all accounts. They should be ok as is, since it was copied in from the /tmp/ directory, but best to check them just in case.
Now, in the source, turn down the arrows to show the Scripts folder. Right or Control click on that to get the menu, and choose both the Add Shell script > preinstall and Add Shell Script > postinstall. This will add both of those script types in.
Here are the 2 scripts I'm using. The preinstall is just a cleanup one, in case there happened to be a previous folder/installer lingering around in that /tmp/ folder.
Preinstall:
#!/bin/sh
## preinstall
BASE="/private/tmp/ampmac_connector"
if [ -d "$BASE" ]; then
## Cleanup an old installation directory if found
rm -Rfd "$BASE"
fiThe postinstall is what does the installation work:
#!/bin/sh
## postinstall
BASE="/private/tmp/ampmac_connector"
PKG="${BASE}/ciscoampmac_connector.pkg"
XML="${BASE}/.policy.xml"
if [[ -e "$PKG" && -e "$XML" ]]; then
/usr/sbin/installer -pkg "$PKG" -tgt /
RES=$?
else
echo "Package or XML was missing. Aborting installation…"
exit 1
fi
if [ $RES == 0 ]; then
## Cleanup folder payload
rm -Rfd "$BASE"
exit 0
else
echo "Installation may have failed with exit code $RES"
exit $RES
fiNow just build as a pkg, upload to your Jamf distro and test it out.
I have found this method to work, because it invokes the installer from that ampmac_connector directory, which has the hidden .policy.xml file in it, and it is able to locate it and use it.
Post back if you have any issues with the above.
@Morgan.Cooledge thanks ! i've got it sorted now :)
Also for PPPC, i used https://github.com/jamf/PPPC-Utility to
create the configuration profile then uploaded to Jamf.
@Echterling This is what my configuration profile looks like. My deployment is based on this post and its working fine.
